(1) All convictions in the Crown court are included (those arrested and charged by the police cannot be distinguished separately although they will make up the vast majority of people tried in the Crown court).
(2) These data are on the principal offence basis.
(3) Every effort is made to ensure that the figures presented are accurate and complete. However, it is important to note that these data have been extracted from large administrative data systems generated by the courts and police forces. As a consequence, care should be taken to ensure data collection processes and their inevitable limitations are taken into account when those data are used.
(4) Staffordshire police force were only able to supply a sample of data for magistrates courts proceedings covering one full week in each quarter for 2000. Estimates based on this sample are included in the figures, as they are considered sufficiently robust at this high level of analysis.
(5) These data are for those persons proceeded against at magistrates courts that have resulted in a conviction for a recorded crime.
(6) Includes all indictable offences within the violence against the person offence group as well as recordable summary violence against the person offence group
